For dentists and dental practices
Your next new patient hasn’t been in for years and is embarrassed about it.
They decide in one evening, on a phone, from what your listing says about cost, about pain, and about whether you are taking anyone new. See which searches you turn up in — free, in 30 seconds.
Why dental is different
The overdue patient reads your profile differently.
Dentistry is one of the few things people search for after years of avoiding it. By then the question is not whether they need a dentist. It is whether they can go through with it at yours.
They screen for three things: what a first appointment costs, whether it will hurt, and whether you are taking anyone new. A website they never open answers none of it. Your Google profile has a field for each.
Anyone can post a question on your listing, and anyone can answer it — including a stranger who has never worked at your practice, replying to “do they take my insurance?”

Rank Pilot answers the questions nobody at the practice sees.
Someone in pain decides between practices on a treatment list, a set of public questions and a wall of reviews. Rank Pilot is the AI agent that keeps all three answered, so the listing does the reassuring while you are chairside.
A patient two years past a recall does not dig your number out of a drawer. They search like everybody else, and whoever ranks gets them.
Rank Pilot writes in the treatments the listing never mentioned — implants, Invisalign, root canal, whitening, hygiene, sedation — and answers the public questions about insurance.
You approve anything that goes public, from your phone. No draft ever names a treatment or confirms that somebody was your patient.
M. R.
Appointment was at nine and I was still in the waiting room at twenty to ten, with nobody saying a word to me. I had taken the morning off, not the whole day.
Being left waiting with no update is not how anyone should be treated here, and I am sorry it happened. Reception now rings ahead whenever we are running more than fifteen minutes behind, so nobody sits there guessing. Please call the practice and ask for me by name — I would rather put this right on the phone than here.
- 01
Answers the money questions
Insurance, payment plans, what a first visit costs. A stranger can answer those.
- 02
Says what you do for nervous patients
Sedation, longer first visits, whatever is true. That belongs in the service list.
- 03
Holds the hours through the holidays
Christmas, the Monday after a bank holiday, the late night you added in March.
- 04
Keeps every reply clinically blank
It acknowledges the complaint and takes the rest offline. It never confirms anyone was a patient.
What it does
Six things nobody at the practice has time for.
The fields that decide whether a stranger rings you: treatments, public questions, reviews, overdue patients.
- 1
Checks 49 points, not the one outside your door
49 numbers read at 49 addresses, because your own front step is not the school gates a mile away.
- 2
Writes out every treatment you actually do
Implants, Invisalign, veneers, root canal, hygiene, whitening, sedation. Google cannot put you in front of work you never wrote down.
- 3
Answers the questions strangers leave on your listing
Do you take my insurance. Are you accepting anyone new. Any Google account can answer those.
- 4
Asks for the review the same afternoon
A text an hour after they leave, once the numbness has gone.
- 5
Drafts the reply about the bill
The forty-minute wait. The fee nobody explained. The draft argues about the wait, never the dentistry.
- 6
Puts you in front of your overdue patients
Someone eighteen months past a check-up searches like a stranger. We use your public profile, never patient records.
What actually happens, and when
The fixes are immediate. The ranking is not.
Week one
Every treatment added. The category corrected. The public questions answered. Hours fixed through the next holiday.
All of it visible on your own profile. You can check every item yourself.
Month three
The point at which the map usually starts to shift, because a dozen fixes have been true long enough to count.
Usually. Not always, and never guaranteed by us.
Nobody can make it faster, and anyone who promises to is lying to you.
What changes for the person still working up to it.
Somebody putting this off will spend longer on your listing than in your waiting room.
Doing it yourself
- Christmas hours are last year’s, so the listing reads closed while you are open.
- The listing just says “Dentist”, so implants and Invisalign go elsewhere.
- Two questions about insurance have sat unanswered on your profile since March.
- Asking for a review means asking a favour, so nobody asks.
- A one-star about a forty-minute wait is the first thing your next patient reads.
With Rank Pilot
- Hours corrected before each holiday, so the listing matches the appointment book.
- Implants, Invisalign, whitening, root canal, hygiene and sedation all named, in the words people type.
- Public questions answered in your words, before a stranger answers for you.
- A text after every appointment, so nobody has to ask.
- A reply drafted while it is still the top review, naming no treatment or patient.
Rank Pilot never writes a review, buys one, or offers anything in return for one.
What it costs a practice.
$79 a month covers the whole profile — treatments, public questions, reviews, hours — with a free trial and no contract. Stop it from the practice account the week the listing no longer needs the help.
Straight answers
The questions dentists actually ask.
Can a reply ever mention a patient’s treatment?
No. A public reply that confirms someone sat in your chair is a disclosure. Rank Pilot never names a treatment, a diagnosis or a visit. It acknowledges, apologises, and asks the person to call.
Can it say we are good with nervous patients?
It can say you offer sedation, that first appointments are longer, that you see anxious patients — anything true that you tell us. It will not write that you are gentle or painless. Those are claims only your patients can make.
Can the profile say which insurance we take?
In part. Your description, your service list and the questions posted on the listing can all say which plans you accept, and Rank Pilot keeps those current. It cannot check an individual’s coverage or quote a price.
Do opening hours really change who gets the call?
Google does not publish how it weights anything, so nobody can honestly call hours a ranking factor. What is certain is that Maps prints open or closed next to your name and lets people filter to what is open now.
Who writes the reply when someone complains about the bill?
Rank Pilot drafts it and you approve it from your phone before it posts. It does not argue about a fee in public and it does not say what work was done. It invites the person to ring you.
How fast can we rank for “dentist near me”?
Nobody can answer that honestly, and anyone who names a date is guessing. Week one is checkable: treatments on the profile, public questions answered, category corrected, hours fixed. Rankings themselves usually take 30 to 90 days to move.

No card, about half a minute. You get your coverage map, the treatments your listing never mentions, and the questions sitting on it unanswered.
